Synopsis: 

The Hesseltines are living in property well overdue for demolition and are looking forward to being rehoused in more beautiful and salubrious surroundings. The crisis comes when they find that, far from a house with a little bit of garden, they are to live in a warrenous block of flats..

BHTC NOTES: Due to the sudden illness of Marion Laughton (playing Deanna Hesseltine), from the night of the dress rehearsal, Betty Dann took over the part and according to the review (see below) did an excellent job.
